Bonus: Getting into "The Zone" - Heart Coherence The Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast with Danielle A. Vann

After the brilliant conversation around Heart Coherence and living a heart-centered life, I wanted to give you the ability to get into coherence yourself. While the technique is simple, this is not something we learn—though we should. Getting into “The Zone” or bringing your attention to your heart rhythm and breath patterns allows us to tap into the heart’s intelligence. And it is so easy to do that after you practice this for just a few minutes each day, you can find coherence within about 60 seconds. In addition, by reaching this state, we release stress and stop draining emotions such as frustration, irritation, anxiety, and anger.

When you are coherent, your thoughts and emotions are balanced, and you experience ease and inner harmony. So, if that sounds like something you are ready for, make sure you are in a quiet space where you will be uninterrupted for just a few minutes.

Place your feet on the floor and sit up tall. You want your body extended to allow the maximum air to enter your lungs and leave with each inhale and exhale. During this experience, you can close your eyes if safe and comfortable. This is a practice that can be done actively as well as a process of slowing down, so do what works best for you now.

I’m going to play some music to help slow your nervous system down now, but you can always practice without music, anywhere you can take a breath, which means you can use this practice anywhere, at any time.

Now, while we usually focus on our lungs when we engage in breathwork, this time, we focus on the heart, the heart space.

So, bring your attention there now. Place your hand on your heart if you wish.

Imagine your breath flowing into your heart and filling the space as you inhale. As you exhale, imagine the air living through your chest and returning to your nose. Breathe a little slower and deeper than usual.

Inhale, filling up your heart and broadening your chest. Exhale, letting the chest return to its natural space as the air leaves the heart. In and out.

As your breath continues, begin to activate a positive feeling. Make a sincere attempt to experience a regenerating feeling such as gratitude or appreciation, or even picture someone you love.

Hold on to that feeling and continue breathing in and out through the heart.  

When you feel settled and more aligned, slowly bring your breath back to normal—allowing yourself a moment longer to sit in these good feelings.

When you are ready, you can open your eyes if you closed them.

This is how you can guide yourself into quick coherence. It will bring your body back into natural alignment and calm your nervous system, but you will also experience reduced stress immediately and feel more positive and energized. In addition, many say they experience greater access to creativity, intuition, and higher-level decision-making.

I hope this simple, yet powerful exercise works for you!
